Beyond Expectations!
Another lawyer recommended that I contact John on behalf of my brother who had a few criminal charges against him and a pending bench warrant. The alleged charges against my brother were not ones that would be easily reduced or dismissed, so I did not hold out much hope for a great outcome. John is a...

Attorney who will fight for the best possible outcome
I hired John when my 20 year old son was arrested and facing very serious and potentially life-altering charges. John knew from the start what needed to be done to get the best possible outcome. He walked us through and kept in touch with us the entire time. If a phone call was placed or an email sen...
Michelle, thank you for trusting your son's case to us. Thank you, also, for your patience with the process. It was a pleasure to work with everyone in support of your son. We appreciate the kind words in your review.
"John is an aggressive and skilled advocate. if your life or liberty is on the line you want someone to fight for you and John will fight hard for you."
"Powers is a powerful lawyer and advocate! I met John while attending the National College for DUI Defense's summer session, which was recently hosted on the campus of Harvard's law school. I saw him in action and was most impressed with his work. I left with two thoughts: 1. If I was charged with a crime in his practice area, he would be my first call for representation; and 2. I need to add his name to my rolodex for potential client referrals. If you are in trouble and need some legal help, give John a call."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing John for over a decade and know him to be a skilled, diligent, and zealous advocate for his clients. I have referred him criminal cases in the past and would not hesitate to do so again in the future. John is an excellent lawyer who fights hard for his clients."
